Leg Injuries

Leg injuries can significantly impact mobility, independence, and quality of life. Injuries involving muscles, tendons, nerves, arteries, or conditions like knee contracture often require specialized reconstructive care to restore function and prevent long-term disability.

At Paras Hospital, reconstructive surgeons provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced surgical solutions for both acute leg trauma and chronic post-injury deformities.

Types of Leg Injuries We Treat

Muscle Injuries

Muscle injuries may result from accidents, sports trauma, crush injuries, or deep wounds. Severe muscle damage can lead to weakness, loss of movement, or abnormal limb contour.

Treatment approach includes:

  • Surgical repair of torn or damaged muscle
  • Muscle reconstruction or flap coverage when required
  • Physiotherapy for strength restoration

Tendon Injuries

Tendons connect muscles to bones and are essential for movement. Injury to leg tendons—such as the Achilles or knee tendons—can result in loss of walking ability if not treated timely. Management includes:

  • Primary tendon repair
  • Tendon grafting or reconstruction in delayed cases
  • Post-operative rehabilitation for mobility recovery

Artery (Vascular) Injuries

Damage to arteries in the leg can compromise blood supply, leading to pain, tissue damage, or limb-threatening conditions.

Our vascular reconstruction focuses on:

  • Immediate restoration of blood flow
  • Microsurgical arterial repair or grafting
  • Preventing complications such as tissue loss or infection

Nerve Injuries

Leg nerve injuries may cause numbness, weakness, pain, or paralysis. Early assessment is critical for functional recovery.

Treatment options include:

  • Nerve repair or nerve grafting
  • Neurolysis (freeing trapped nerves)
  • Long-term rehabilitation for sensory and motor improvement

Knee Contracture

What is Knee Contracture?

Knee contracture is a condition where the knee becomes permanently stiff, limiting normal bending or straightening. It commonly develops after:

  • Severe injury or fractures
  • Burns or prolonged immobilization
  • Post-surgical scarring or infection

Treatment for Knee Contracture

Reconstructive surgery aims to restore joint movement and function.

Treatment may involve:

  • Surgical release of tight tissues
  • Skin grafts or flap coverage if skin shortage is present
  • Physiotherapy and splinting for long-term correction
